179.ENG The relationship between rural & Urban areas - Sofia Cavalleri & Clemens Grunbuhel
Dr.Clemens Grünbühel (Research Leader at SEI) & Sofia Cavalleri (PhD Candidate at Stockholm Environment Institute & Chulalongkorn University) is talking about urban-rural sustainable links and how the urban-rural divide has been normalized in the mainstream academic narrative, including how policymakers are currently working in silo, by structuring development strategies as "rural development" and "urban development", often missing the bigger overarching regional picture. We are talking about the main flow of resources (e.g. ecosystem services, human capital, natural, social, financial, physical, natural capital that is flowing from the rural to the urban areas and vice-versa). moreover, we are talkingb about what can the urban offer to the rural? and what can the rural offer to the urban?
